Make It

HEAT dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chicken, in batches; cook 2 to 3 min. on each side or until evenly browned on all sides.

PLACE mushrooms, onions, peppers and garlic in slow cooker; top with chicken. Combine tomatoes and thyme; spoon over ingredients in slow cooker. Cover with lid. Cook on LOW 6 to 8 hours (or on HIGH 5 hours).

SERVE chicken mixture over rice.

Cooking Know-How

Taking the lid off your slow cooker for even just a minute reduces the heat and extends the cooking time. Lift the lid only if instructed to do so in the recipe.

Small Changes Add Up

Remove the skin from the chicken to save 30 calories and 6g of total fat, including 1.5g of saturated fat, per serving.

I love my crockpot. So easy to make. Even my inlaws complimented me on it.

Excellent recipe, and very, very easy to put together. I serve it with whole wheat spagetti noodles and garlic cheese bread. My family LOVES it. I have made it several times. Very "italiano"!

It was OK. Not fabulous, but definitely edible. Maybe it just needs to be tweaked a little. I'm not sure if I will make it again or not.

I really thought this was good and the chicken came out tender. Next time, I think I will use chicken breast instead of dark meat (legs and thighs) more fresh garlic and less onion. I would have preferred the tomato part of the dish to be a thicker sauce, so next time I think I'll add some tomato paste to intensify the tomato taste and add some thickness.
I did add 2 julienne sliced carrots and liked that addition. Spices I added to make it have a more Italian flare are garlic powder, oregano, basil and black pepper.

This had okay flavor but the peppers turned to mush and it was way too watery.

We use boneless chicken breast, much better!

This is a great place to use leftover veggies - just dump them in! My grandmother thinks this is a great meal, because she loves slow-cookers.

I made this for my in-laws and they loved it. I used zucchini instead of the musrooms. I had a lot of liquid in mine, mostly juices from the chicken. It was very tasty.

It was easy and looked good, but the chicken was bland and there wasn't enough juice. I think it could be good, but I am not sure how to get it there.

I thought this recipe was good but I did make some changes. I used 2 lbs. of boneless skinless chicken breast, 3 cloves of garlic, no mushrooms (cause I don't like them) and 1 - 28oz. can of crushed tomatoes to make a little more sauce. I think next time I will use basil or italian seasoning instead of the thyme. It is a great base recipe and if you like to experiment with recipes like I do thenyou can have a lot of fun with this one.
